What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

Physics

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

A coiled telephone cord forms a spiral with 90.0 turns, a diameter of 1.30 cm, and an unstretched length of 57.0 cm. Determine t
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

2.36 μ H

Explanation:

Given,

Number of turns= 90

diameter = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

unscratched length = 57 cm  = 0.57 m

Area, A = π r²

            = π x 0.0065² = 1.32 x 10⁻⁴ m²

 we know,

   L = \dfrac{\mu_0N^2A}{l}

   L = \dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 90^2\times 1.32\times 10^{-4}}{0.57}

    L = 2.36 μ H

Hence, the inductance of the unstretched cord is equal to 2.36 μ H

An isotope is a version of the same element that differs in the composition of the A) atom. B) nucleus. C) particle. Eliminate D
crimeas [40]
The correct answer is B because isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, and neutrons are located in the nucleus
